The moment she revisited
Paradis was scheduled to perform at Printemps de Bourges on April 15 but cancelled for medical reasons when she had lost her voice. She now recalls seeing the audience leave from her window and describes the decision as emotionally difficult even though performing was not realistic.
What she says about maintenance
Her comments focus on routine rather than diagnosis: regular vocal work, cardio and stretching, keeping her throat warm and being cautious around illness. She also says she has performed while sick before and does not recommend it.
The important distinction
This is a retrospective interview about an April cancellation, not evidence of a fresh medical crisis on September 25. PurePeople summarizes the same Madame Figaro conversation, so the two links represent one interview origin rather than independent confirmation.
Update note: Original source-read briefing preserving the retrospective context and avoiding a false current-health alarm.
